Well, those transcripts included private conversations between my friend and his wife while they were alone in their bedroom! <br /><br />Not phone calls. Just conversations in a room with a phone sitting on the receiver in their bedroom. <br /><br />We figured the cops probably entered those parts of the transcripts into evidence by mistake. But either they'd planted a bug they never admitted to, or the mic in that phone don't stop working just because the phone is hung up. <br /><br />Now, we know that our cell phones can be monitored (including the camera), even when they're turned off. <br /><br />Sleep tight.
